Smart bulb..with manual power button

[wallace]

Bravo on your new smart bulbs. If users put these in table or floor lamps it would be nice to have the option of reaching under shade and pushing a button to manually turn off the bulb; sometimes easier than giving commands to google/Alexa or using app to turn off bulb. While smart control of many things in our homes is convenient, also having dumb control gives the user the best of both worlds.

What you want is a Wyze Button Vote here:

Wyze Smart Button

Wyze Button similar to Flic or Logitech Pop. Another way to think of it would be like a physical Rules trigger. For example, you could put one near (or even on) your garage door opener button. When you leave the house, pressing it will turn motion detection on (or whatever trigger you set up with Rules). Press it again when you come home to disable motion detection. Edit: I suggested this before Wyze had Rules. Updated to say Rules instead of IFTTT. Mod Edit:

If you need something now you can also look at Amazon Echo Buttons which just trigger an Alexa routine when pressed.

@thequietman44, I agree that the Wyze button would work as a catch all that could perform in this capacity; however, if a Wyze Bulb V2 ever comes out, having the button integrated into the bulb would be ideal. The new Wyze plug appears to have this functionality. Having a small integrated button would be much cleaner and would eliminate the need for an additional device (probably the size of the Wyze sense) that must be kept track of. I recognize that a second version of the bulb is unlikely to happen any time soon, but if the day comes, this would be a nice addition.
